This Week in FRC Robotics: 10/13/24

Greetings Technical Difficulties, this is your “Week in Robotics Update.”

Message From the Coach:

Good to see everyone plugging away at their projects last week.  I was particularly impressed with the work that’s gone into the smaller chassis.  We’re going to be in good shape going into the build season with such a firm foundation.

There are a number of events coming up on the calendar soon and for the next couple months - from Trick-or-treat outside the CRC to FRC league events.  We’ll be looking for volunteers to help with all of that; please think about where you can contribute.  THere will be more information on Thursday.  See you then.

- Kirk
